the tao of criminal-defense trial lawyering

CharonQC’s Podcast #90

I admit a fas­ci­na­tion with the British crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem, and how far it and ours have diverged in the last 230 odd years. I wel­come the fre­quent com­ments from British crim­i­nal bar­ris­ter “Inter­ested Coun­sel”, and have invited him to email me a list of ques­tions and com­ments about Amer­i­can crim­i­nal jus­tice. I learn a great deal about British crim­i­nal jus­tice from the ques­tions that our col­leagues across the Atlantic (divided by a com­mon lan­guage) have about the way things work here.

So I leapt at the oppor­tu­nity to visit with fig­men­tary Eng­lish bar­ris­ter lawyer CharonQC tele­phon­i­cally for half an hour this after­noon. We talked about jury selec­tion, cross-examination, and the war on drugs. The result­ing pod­cast is here. Enjoy!
